Hartley Wintney, October 28th 2009 - Getmapping has improved its online store for aerial imagery. It now provides a full high resolution preview so customers can get a much better idea of the quality and detail of the images they are ordering.  Getmapping has also reduced the minimum size for ordering digital images or prints to areas as small as 100 square metres, down from 0.5 square km, making minimum purchases much more cost effective.

Getmapping aerial imagery has a wide variety of professional users in central and local government, utility companies and the emergency services. In addition there are many users in the environmental, building and construction sectors. All Getmapping imagery is flown to a high specification with stereo pairs enabling it to be used for the creation of digital elevation models and 3D environments. 

Getmapping is the only aerial survey company in Britain currently flying the whole country at an enhanced 12.5 cm resolution. Having pioneered nationwide coverage it continues to maintain its lead in the industry with an ambitious flying update program. Getmapping operates two of its own high resolution digital cameras and works closely with its partners to fly whenever the UK weather and air traffic control permits.

We have enhanced Getmapping.com to ensure that people interested in ordering prints or digital files can actually see the quality of the imagery they will receive. This should make the buying decision much easier,” said Tristram Cary, Managing Director of Getmapping.
“By offering smaller areas we have also opened up the market to those who just want an image of their house, business or potential building plot. Before the smallest area available from the web store was half a square kilometre.  Again this should make the purchase of imagery more economical,” continued Cary.
